Dear Friend,
Every
day we see more of the Crucible Institute taking shape. We're very
excited, and we think you will be too. Last issue we announced our new
book Intimacy &
Desire will be released on October 15th. That’s just a few
days away! Its supporting web site, DesireBook.com, is already
open. This Newsletter is full of other exciting announcements we're
proud and happy to share with you:
-
Read an excerpt from Intimacy
& Desire
- Our new social community
site, devoted to differentiation and emotionally healthy lifestyles, is
about to open
- Our therapy training program
will restart, bigger and better than ever before
The
byword of the Crucible Institute is "The Art & Science of
Emotionally Healthy Living." Intimacy & Desire
is just one example of how we focus on both: It shows you how to apply
helpful tools to improve your life in ways that reflect who
you are and who you want to be (art). You also get the latest science
of interpersonal neurobiology and brain-change psychotherapy. Moreover,
we’re starting to
release innovative research we’ve conducted that underscores the
soundness of our approach. And we’re going back to teaching
professionals the artistry of therapy. Emotionally healthy living is an
adventure that awaits us all. Let’s explore this future together!
Sincerely,
Dr. David Schnarch
Founder, Crucible
Institute

What do
other professionals have to say about Intimacy & Desire?
"The
unblinking David
Schnarch, our foremost expert at the intersection of sex, love, and
passion, has honored us with
Intimacy
& Desire
which teaches people how to have tender, loving sex while learning more
about themselves and their partner. --
Frank Pittman, M.D.
Dr. Schnarch is my kind of therapist; his approach is about the
connection of minds before the connection of bodies. --Pepper
Schwartz,
PH. D.

Instructor
Copies of Intimacy
& Desire
We
support the use of Intimacy
& Desire in graduate and undergraduate college
courses. Passionate
Marriage, Dr. Schnarch’s previous book, has been highly
popular with instructors and students alike. Instructors can request an
examination copy for possible course adoption on DesireBook.com.
Do
you use any of Dr. Schnarch’s other books in a course you teach? (Passionate Marriage,
Constructing the Sexual Crucible, Resurrecting Sex) Did
you read one of these books in a course you took in school? If so, you
know a teacher who does. We want to bring together instructors using
our materials, so they can trade teaching ideas, methods, exams, etc.
Please contact your professor directly (or give us the information and
we’ll do it) and encourage him or her to register at DesireBook.com. If you
teach from our books, please register yourself.

CRUCIBLE4POINTS.COM
Community
Website Opens late October
A resource for emotionally
healthy living

If living an emotionally healthy lifestyle appeals to you, visit our
community website opening in late October. You'll find resources not
available anywhere else, including a community of like-minded people.
It’s the first social community based on differentiation as a way of
life. If you’re tired of meaningless social communities based on
superficial interactions and trivial pursuits, Crucible4Points.com is
for you.
Self-Discovery Brain
You
can learn about a lot of things on Crucible4Points.com, like
relationships, sex, intimacy, parenting, spirituality and more. But the
most interesting thing you can learn about on our web site is YOU.
There’s a unique Self-Discovery Brain, a multi-dimensional personal
inventory of your personality, preferences, and interests that gets
down to the nitty-gritty. This self-discovery tool let's you evaluate
yourself, your present or prior relationship, and your preferences for
a partner. You can even compare responses with people you select, like
your current partner, or a prospective date you meet in our community.

Crucible®
Therapy Training
Program
Clinical Training for
Professionals
Coming 1st Quarter 2010
This
past week at the 2009 Annual Convention of the American Association for
Marriage & Family Therapy, we announced the reopening of our
training program for 1st quarter 2010. We have been training therapists
since 1991, conducting more than a hundred 2-day Introductory
Workshops, 6-day Intensive Workshops and in-depth week-long Practicum.
Over time we saw the strengths and weaknesses of traditional
workshop-based clinical training. So in 2004 we stopped large-scale
training, and continued with a small group of dedicated students. We
spent the next five years teaching the Crucible Approach in more than
15 countries around the world. Then we started from scratch and
designed a new generation of instruction, combining the best methods of
clinical training, didactic education, and personal application. We‘ve
harnessed the power of on-line interactive training and eLearning
systems to firmly set the ideas in students' brains. And we kept our
person-to-person training know-how to help trainees learn how to make the
Crucible process come alive.
The
Crucible®
Therapy Training
Program is a renaissance in preparing
clinicians to practice, combining the fine art of psychotherapy with
evolving brain science and modern teaching methods.
The
Crucible Approach is now
fully integrated with interpersonal
neurobiology and neuroplastic training. The Crucible Therapy Training
Program combines the best of face-to-face personal instruction,
electronic media, and distance learning.
